The discovery last month of a donkey meat farm in the Egyptian town of Faiyum has sparked a food scandal in the country, as it emerged a number of restaurants had served customers donkey meat. Authorities seized 1,500 live and 30 dead donkeys from the farm.
At the time, a lion tamer told Arabic newspaper Youm7 the farm was only slaughtering old and crippled donkeys, and was only selling them to the National Circus for consumption by its big cats. But according to the paper, authorities believe the meat was being distributed to vendors for human consumption.
